According to the Wall Street Journal, while Sony Pictures is investigating a series of hacks, Korean banks and broadcasting stations previously discovered the same code as the malicious code used in the cyber attack seen by North Korea He said that he did. This strongly guesses that there is North Korea behind this cyber attack on Sony Pictures.
